    Does anyone know if you pay for Disney+ with Three credit does it take it out of your credit automatically every month or do you need to do it yourself? Thanks

    Yip, ad infinitum until you cancel the subscription (or run out of credit!)

    Sorry if this has been raised before - but - I've just noticed that 3 has a €30 deal, which includes unlimited calls to all networks.

    Is the entirety of this €30 available to be used ?

    Nope, none of it.

    These days €30 for unlimited calls is very dear.
    There are loads of deals out there with unlimited calls from €12.99 Gomo, Virgin, Eir & Three Bill pay €15 a month.
    Eir & Three are for 6 months.

    It's a total pain, last month they charged me 3 times for YouTube, still haven't gotten a refund. This month they took the money but haven't given it to YouTube and they've now cancelled my sub.

    Same here, charged 4 times for YouTube, trying to get into account (to also block premium services having lost some money to 57977 scam) and now in an endless loop of trying to log in/reset password/already registered rubbish... The had said the system would be down for a couple days and back last Tuesday morning. Some things never change.

    Sorry if this has been shown before but I tried to subscribe to Deezer and cannot see a billing option for paying by phone credit? Am I missing something very obvious

    yes it is with Three. Maybe it's not showing due to the issues as I cannot access the app either at the moment.

    Yeah I'm the same. Definitely having issues!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,866 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    You can't pay for Deezer anymore with credit.

    Just bumping an old post..

    I was told I needed to re-register with them. That took nearly two days to accomplish, as the site kept crashing. Finally achieved it, went to log in with new details and it says username or password incorrect. I got on to them again and they said they'd pass it on to tech support, that there has been issues.

    As it stands, Google is still saying that my pay by mobile account is closed......

    Try this address to login...
    https://www.three.ie/my3/customer360.html

    It might prompt for the verification email link (they don't resend a new link, just use the same one each time) which must be opened and then try login again but ensure it's at the address above as the old login page doesn't work with the email username but all their links still point to it which is making things worse as the old login uses the phone number.

    Even if you succeed with login, it's still buggy.

    It's unlimited data, texts and calls.
    The €20 deal is unlimited Data and Texts only.

    but, the €20 allows you to keep your credit, where as the €30 pay as you go deal apparently does not.

    Not on the €20 plan for new customers that was launched a few weeks ago. From the terms & conditions:

    7. When you Top Up by €20 or more in one transaction the Plan will activate. This €20 charge will apply each time you Top Up by €20 or more in one transaction.

    Are you able to log in after re-registering? I'm still stuck in a re-registration loop!

    Eventually I am able to login in, after multiple attempts at re-registering. These guys are having serious issues. Their confirmation email was screwed up also. Now my topup has not been credited to my phone even though the money has been taken from my bank card. They cannot seem to get the basics right.

    Aha! Thanks for being a lot more helpful than Three customer service!

    I see the new-look My3 is the same as the one already used for ex-O2 accounts.

    three customer service are driving me crazy, it took two hours to get through to them, then almost three hours online chat and still not sorted.

    Wont issue a refund, wont send a usage report, going round in bloody circles. Are all their systems gone completely kaput?

    I couldn't login and was getting the "...after 5 attempts your account will be locked..." message on login.three.ie.
    I was using my phone number to login.

    But then I tried logging into 3Community instead: https://community.three.ie/t5/notes/v1_1/privatenotespage
    I got in there no problems. Once there I clicked "My3" at the top and was able to get into the main account Customer Dashboard.

    Give that a shot.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 11,017 Mod ✭✭✭✭yoyo


    I *finally* got this to work with 3. Firstly, don't even think about using Firefox to use Threes amazing new website, it just does not work and randomly spits out 400 errors. They seem to have borrowed the same idea from Virgin Media..

    Use Chrome to register for the new My 3 account. Then go into the Playstore app on the phone and under: Hamburger menu -> Payment Methods choose More Payment Methods. Delete the Three payment method in here (It says something like "Account closed"). You might need to switch to your Credit card for subscriptions you have which are currently active. I just cancelled the subscriptions before doing this. If you don't do this your card will probably be charged for any overdue ones!

    After deleting the Pay with 3 option I restarted the phone (although I imagine toggling airplane mode on and off should have same effect). Go back into Playstore -> Payment methods and there is an option to setup carrier billing with 3. Voila I can now pay again with 3 credit! :) Btw Threes comical Live chat support yesterday got me absolutely no where. I don't think the chap understood me and just closed the chat after 5 minutes!!

    I had re-registered last week, but could not seem to log in afterwards (kept saying my username or password was incorrect). An agent I spoke to today reset my password (even though it was fine), but that still didn't work. So I tried your link above, with her password and magically, it got me to reset my password and I could log in to the My3 dashboard!
    However, I went to log in again a short while later and just kept getting the same endless loop about getting an email and validating it (which I did last week).
    What a mess!

    My 3 billing account has been marked as "closed" ever since 3 did their upgrade back on the 3rd. I was terrified about deleting my 3 billing option on the Play Store, in case it wouldn't let me add it in as an option again.
    But I followed your instructions and it was there straight away (even before restarting my phone). I confirmed it there by spending some credit!

    I still don't think I'll be able to log back into My3 any time soon, but I don't care as long as I can spend credit (and top up when I need to).

    Thanks to all the folks who posted here over the past while. 3 are obviously in a bit of a mess at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,508 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    Full circle, Yoyo! Could one of ye please try and sign up for Stadia and see if carrier billing is an option?
    You don't need to go through with the sale, just get the app on the play store and sign up to the trial to where it allows you to pick a payment type! You can back out after that, unless you want to try it free for 2 months ;)

    "3" disappeared from my billing options, but only for Stadia, and I've so many subs on it already, I don't want to delete unless I know it will actually work :)

    Thanks a million!

    Yeah, when I try log in from login.three.ie using my email address, the first attempt invariably seems to result in an 'incorrect password' warning (even though I've used the correct password) but when I try a second time it works fine. Bizarre.

    Me either.

    To double check I still have 3 billing I went to update my current Shudder payment method and 3 still showing in available payment methods.

    Try a new incognito tab for the next login on whichever link worked.

    For some reason 3's cookies seem to be causing a problem so a new incognito tab might work as it clears cookies when it's closed and starts afresh next time.

    Only Stadia doesn't work, but they say they aren't the problem!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,866 ✭✭✭✭mrcheez


    OK now I'm getting the issue with not being able to login on my account and Three support seem to be clueless.
    I guess my main concern is that I'm going to get charged on my credit and something is going to mess up.

    Can anyone who cannot currently login confirm whether or not charges to their credit are going through successfully?
    I have a payment due to come out on the 17th, so I'm trying to decide if I cancel it.

    EDIT: maybe a false alarm... Incognito mode is working... so yes I guess the cookies are messing things up
